Urgent update sought on SWAH maternity services after concern raised over future

Local representatives have called for an urgent update from the Western Trust as concerns were raised about the future of maternity services at the South West Acute Hospital.

A report in the Fermanagh Herald this week said several obstetrics and gynaecology consultants in the Enniskillen hospital were leaving their positions as they would no longer have access to a general surgeon if a procedure goes wrong.

A public consultation is currently ongoing as to the future of emergency general surgery at the hospital, with the service currently withdrawn and patients being brought to Altnagelvin or Craigavon instead.
